Ich weiß immer noch nicht, warum Sallie und ich überhaupt zu dieser Party am Waldhang oberhalb von Aspen gegangen sind...

- Wenn Männer mir die Welt erklären, p. 1

In 9 Essays seziert Rebecca Solnit was es bedeutet als Frau im Patriarchat zu leben. Angefangen von der selbstverständlichen Überheblichkeit von Männern gegenüber Frauen bis zu #YesAllWomen. Sexual entitlement, Kassandra-Syndrom und Großmutters Spinne.

Ein lesenswertes Buch, welches ich mit 5 Seiten Notizen in Docs beende :)

... Die Emanzipation der Frau wurde oft als Bewegung dargestellt, die darauf abzielt, die Macht und Privilegien von Männern zu beschneiden oder sie ihnen ganz wegzunehmen... wir sind entweder gemeinsam frei oder gemeinsam unfrei. Wer glaubt, er müsse gewinnen, dominieren, bestrafen und uneingeschränkt herrschen, ist mit Sicherheit alles andere als frei...

- Wenn Männer mir die Welt erklären, p. 55

... Frauen ans Haus gefesselt, um ihre erotischen Energien unter Kontrolle zu halten, was in einer patrilinear organisierten Gesellschaft erforderlich... In matrilinearen Gesellschaften ist diese Art von Kontrolle eher unwesentlich...

- Wenn Männer mir die Welt erklären, p. 99

This collection of essays were very good and I’m very glad I read them. They were all pretty insightful and they helped me to understand some things more and to look at others in a different way. The things in this book are definitely not a comfortable topic but it is definitely one that needs to be had.
